IEEE_GET_ROUNDING_MODE

Intrinsic Module Subroutine (Generic): Stores the current IEEE rounding mode.

Module

USE, INTRINSIC :: IEEE_ARITHMETIC

Syntax

CALL IEEE_GET_ROUNDING_MODE (round_value)

round_value

(Output) Must be scalar and of type TYPE (IEEE_ROUND_TYPE). It returns one of the following IEEE floating-point rounding values:

IEEE_DOWN, IEEE_NEAREST, IEEE_TO_ZERO, or IEEE_UP; otherwise, IEEE_OTHER.

The result can only be used if IEEE_SET_ROUNDING_MODE is invoked.

Example

Consider the following:

USE, INTRINSIC :: IEEE_ARITHMETIC

TYPE(IEEE_ROUND_TYPE) ROUND

...

CALL IEEE_GET_ROUNDING_MODE(ROUND) ! Stores the rounding mode

CALL IEEE_SET_ROUNDING_MODE(IEEE_UP) ! Resets the rounding mode

...

CALL IEEE_SET_ROUNDING_MODE(VALUE) ! Restores the previous rounding mode
